Configuration

Bonfire can be configured. It will look for a ~/.bonfire.cfg or a bonfire.cfg (in the current directory). The configuration file can specify API nodes. If no host is specified a node with the name default will be used. You can also configure queries which can be referenced by starting your query with a colon:

[node:default]
host=1.2.3.4
port=12900
username=jdoe

[node:dev]
host=4.3.2.1
port=12900
username=jdoe

[query:example]
query=facility:*foo* AND source:*bar*
from=2015-03-01 15:00:00
limit=100
fields=message,name,facility,source

Now you can run queries via such as:

> bonfire --node=dev :example
... runs the example query on the node dev

> bonfire :example
... runs the example query on the default node
